1. Lennox Signature Series XC25
Lennox is the most committed brand to high efficiency, with three models on the list. With variable-control, split-system central air – i.e., you can control the upstairs and downstairs separately – replacing an old unit with this 16.5 EER unit can reduce your cooling bills by more than half every year.
2. Carrier Infinity 20 24VNA0
A two stage system –it isn’t fully variable but runs fill tilt or turned down to about 70% capacity – Carrier is particularly efficient in hot climates. That’s pretty ironic: the company is based in Syracuse, NY, the snowiest city in America. With a 15.5 EER, this unit is extremely energy efficient.
3. Lennox Signature Series XC21
Another Lennox, this one a two-stage. With a 15 EER, and lower price and ease of repair, two-stage AC units are less expensive in the long run. However, Lennox does not include warranties with these products.
4. Carrier Infinity 21 24ANB1
Seeing a pattern here? Also rated at 15 EER, this two-stage model tends to be less expensive than its Lennox counterpart and offers a warranty.
5. York YXV, Coleman AC21B, Luxaire AL21B, Champion AS21B, Fraser-Johnston AL21B
All made by Johnson Controls, these identical variable-speed models are rated at 14 EER and can be adjusted for a more humid climate.
6. Amana AVXC20 & Daikin DX20VC
A 14 EER and the best warranties in the business. Amana offers a lifetime warranty on the compressor.
7. Lennox Elite XC20
Yes, another Lennox. 14 EER.
8. Armstrong Air & AirEase SCU/BCE Series
These brands are subsidiaries of Lennox. The rate at a still-great 13.5 EER and cost less than the mother brand.
9. Maytag M1200 PSA1BG
The Maytag model is rated at 13.5 EER and comes with a 10-year warranty.
10. Rheem Prestige RA20 & Ruud UA20
Japanese brands with a 13 EER, this is their first model year for variable-control units.
